Product

Brand Name: Checkpoint Guardian Intraoperative Lead Product Name: Checkpoint Guardian Intraoperative Lead, Small Model/Catalog Number: REF# 9524 (Small) Product Description: The Checkpoint Guardian Intraoperative Leads are single-patient disposable accessories for providing stimulus to a targeted nerve. The accessories are intended for use with any device from the Checkpoint Stimulator/Locator Family. The lead electrode is intended to wrap around nerves that have been surgically exposed, allowing the surgeons to provide hands free stimulus to a targeted nerve.

Why was it recalled?

Adhesive on the back of the lead may not fully encapsulate the metallic portion of the wire and button subassembly, potentially leading to exposed metal. There is a risk of electrical current leakage, which may lead to inconsistent or confusing muscle responses, potentially compromising the effectiveness of the intended use as the surgeon could take an incorrect clinical action.

FDA enforcement reports do not list a consumer remedy. Check the product codes below against what you have; if it matches, stop using it and follow the instructions in the firm's or FDA's official notice, or contact the company. If you have health concerns, contact your healthcare provider.
